Oh, dear, no! I'm certainly not podcast material. Thank you for saying so, though! I love the idea of Mike doing podcasts. Mary Dee has a good point. Would transcripts be available? For those of us with hearing problems, especially ringing! that would be a very nice item.

Diane, I love your modesty and humor. You would be awesome as a podcast interviewee on the subject of your favorite General. However, I completely understand your reluctance on reasons of health and auditory challenges. And you and Mary Dee are right - transcripts would be awesome. I know none of us is going to be able to listen to all the podcasts.

What if it featured one well known person and then something from someone not well known, following? It's crazy how many rangers have terrific stories. There are extremely good blogs out there, too, probably easy to find someone not well known ( maybe recommended by the author/historian, ). Following up material from what was discussed by the ' name ', maybe with a favorite human interest story?

Any author who is a member here is a great start. I didn't see John Hoptak listed. I would definitely subscribe.

I subscribe to another ACW podcast. Typical shows are 30 minutes in length which I wouldn't go much over unless there is an interview. The podcast I listen to is very "history class" type approach. Don't get me wrong, the two who do it are very knowledgeable and seem to be well researched, but I find myself zoning out sometimes because of the approach.

@diane; for me, she offers so much interesting information about Forrest and is
so quick with accurate information. May not be an author, I don't know if she is or
isn't, but her wealth of knowledge of NBF cannot go unnoticed.

Well, I looked into doing a transcription, I could of course do it myself, but that could take hours. If I get a service to do it for me it could be cost prohibitive. I'll keep looking into the idea, transcripts are good for driving traffic as well.

Gary Gallagher would be a dream! I'm just watching his series of lectures at the Darden School of Business on Youtube and he is absolutely amazing!
You could include a section where questions from CWT members are forwarded to the podcast partner...

This having said I'm also in for the transcript. Or a video instead of the podcast. I'm not an "audio" person, I need something to anchor my eyes on, pure audio content is lost on me. Sadly.
